Dear Summerville Baptist Church Family,
First of all, thank YOU for all your prayers and hard work for this week. This week, for Vacation Bible School, we embarked on a voyage through the Amazon Jungle where the children learned about the 7 Cs of History: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation. The children learned how there is a God that created them, Who came to earth as a baby for them, Who died for them, Who rose again for them, and Who loves them very much! Thank you for all your work before, during, and after this week of Vacation Bible School. I know it takes a lot of work physically, financially, and emotionally… kids are work! But the work that was accomplished this week was amazing! Children from around our valley heard the Gospel, some for the first time! This is the next generation, and the Bible clearly states that it is our job to ensure they hear what Jesus has done for them (Matthew 28:18-20). Through the offering the children raised over $300, for Sarah Goodman, a missionary who was recently with us and is serving in Brazil. This week we had a high of 63 children which is one of our highest numbers in recent years. We are excited to see all the Lord will continue to do in and through each of these children’s lives and through our own. Thank you again for all your work, great attitudes, and for ensuring that every spot was filled during VBS week.
Sincerely, Lisa
